I'm by no means recommending that you *not* install the update. You *should* install the update. You are just going to want to run the Office Remove tool and reinstall Office. None of your Entourage data will be deleted (unless you elect to do so in the Remove Tool) and if you are really feeling paranoid you can just copy your Microsoft User Data folder to the Desktop or onto a removable disk or burn an archive copy on CD... take your pick. Install the update. Just make sure to install the update while logged in as the same user that installed Office in the first place. -Remo Del Bello -- Upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins say: "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too." -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:Entourage-Talk-Off@;lists.letterrip.com> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
